Why Tourism Studies?

In the heart of a World Heritage city close to Europe and London, Canterbury Christ Church University’s North Holmes Campus is an excellent place to study Tourism Studies. Supporting over 260 million jobs worldwide, the tourism industry offers a multitude of exciting opportunities as organisations locally and internationally seek employees and graduates who have specialist tourism knowledge, which you can gain by studying with us.

You will be taught by qualified, knowledgeable staff who are passionate about their teaching and research. Academic lectures and seminars are supported by a wealth of industry speakers, site visits and an international field trip. During your time with us, you will be offered work experience/internships and our exciting Tourism and Events Research Hub, which has a reputation for winning successful research grants, may provide further opportunities for some students.

To help smooth the transition to study at university, you will take a module called ‘Developing Personal and Academic Skills’. This module will guide you in small workshop groups through essay writing, academic referencing, research methods, accessing journals and generally help you settle in.

What will i study?

In year one you will study modules such as Introduction to Tourism and Current Trends in Tourism Events and Hospitality, which may include topics such as dark tourism, film tourism, crisis management and sustainability. In the second and third year your foundational knowledge is developed with a greater emphasis on analytical and critical reasoning skills as well as studying key concepts in situ on our free international field trip in year two (an option for you), and the individual study/research project in year three.

As part of your degree you have the option to study at one of our Erasmus Universities in year two. We currently have longstanding successful links with universities in Malta, Iceland, Sweden and France. Taking part in the Erasmus scheme will give you the opportunity of living and experiencing a different country and culture in the safe environment of a university.

Work Experience

During your tourism course, you may be offered a variety of internships and work experiences. This is an evolving and changing programme to ensure you get the best opportunities. We currently have students working with Visit Kent, Shepherd Neame, Dreamland, Howletts and Port Lympne to name just a few. Our very active and successful Tourism and Event Research Hub also works hard to establish industry links. In year 2 you will be able to take a work place/work based learning module which will enable you to complete a ’live’ task and finish a project with employer support.

A recent internship with our Tourism and Event Research Hub was entitled ‘Supporting young people accessing meaningful work placements in the Kent visitor economy: a business stakeholders’ perspective’. This 10 week project was a collaboration between the Tourism and Events Research Hub, and Destination Management Organisation, Visit Kent. The project was designed to support an exciting initiative focusing on skills and career progression for young people in the sector: the ‘Kent Hospitality, Tourism and Transport Guild’. The intern worked on a project ‘to explore the perceptions of business stakeholders about the opportunities and barriers related to the provision of work placements for young people in the visitor economy', supported throughout by the project lead at Christ Church University and Visit Kent.

Tourism student are also encouraged and supported to take part in as much volunteer work as possible during their studies.
